George Stephan
George Stephan, former lieutenant governor and long prominent figure in public life in Denver and Colorado, died yesterday at his home in La Jolla, Calif. He had been ill for many months. He was 82.
Born in Cleveland, Ohio, in 1882, Mr. Stephan came to Colorado when he was 19 and settled in Mesa County. He served his home community as city, county and deputy district attorney and in 1910 was elected to the State Senate.
He served in the State Senate from 1910 to 1916 and as lieutenant governor from 1919 to 1921. He was registrar of the State Land Board from 1921 to 1923 and U.S. Attorney from 1924 to 1929, when he went into private practice
of law in Denver.
Throughout his long residence in Colorado, he was extremely active in Republican affairs and was a delegate to the national convention which nominated Calvin Coolidge in 1924.
Mr. Stephan kept a houseboat in Florida for many years and made a practice of spending a good portion of each winter on the boat.
He and Mrs. Stephan, who was the former Helen Carr, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. A. W. Carr of Philadelphia, observed their golden wedding anniversary in
California in June, 1941. They were married in Delta.
During his residence in California, Mr. Stephan was active in Boy Scout work and was serving his second four-year term as a member of the San Diego Planning Commission.
